NLJ this week: Homes, debts & payment

NLJ columnist Stephen Gold casts his expert eye over the extension to the residential eviction ban in this week’s Civil Way column, as well as a change of approach for judgment enforcement agents, who may now negotiate a controlled goods agreement via video.

Gold also covers the meaning of ‘immediate’ where maintenance payments are concerned.
